FLOWSERVE Control valve packages (a control valve and its instru- mentation) are typically well protected from corrosion. Nevertheless FLOWSERVE products must be stored in a clean, dry environment such as an enclosed building that affords environmental protection. Heating is not required. Control valve packages must be stored on suitable skids, not directly on the floor.

® 6 TUBING 6.3 Vented Design A standard Logix 420 positioner is vented directly to the atmosphere. After mounting has been completed, tube the positioner to the actuator When supply air is substituted with sweet natural gas, piping must be using the appropriate compression fitting connectors.
(10.0 V) therefore; this system will support the Logix 420. The Logix 420 has an input resistance equivalent to 500 Ω at a 20 mA input The Logix 420 requires that the current loop system allow for a 10 VDC current.

5000 feet. For cable runs longer than 5000 feet, 20 AWG cable should be used. The input loop current signal to the Logix 420 digital positioner should be in shielded cable. Shields must be tied to a ground at only one end of the cable to provide a place for environmental electrical noise to be removed from the cable.
7.2.5 Electromagnetic Compatibility When selecting an intrinsically safe barrier, make sure the barrier is The Logix 420 digital positioner has been designed to operate correctly HART compatible. Although the barrier will pass the loop current and in electromagnetic (EM) fields found in typical industrial environments.
20 mA for Air-To-Close.. 8.2 Local User Interface Overview The Logix 420 local user interface allows the user to calibrate, configure 4 mA – Selecting 4 mA will make the valve close when the signal is low the basic operation, and tune the response of the positioner without (4 mA) and open when the signal is high (20mA).
